Hmm....Good question, Carl....I've been wondering that very thing....They used to carry Battlestar Galactica series models, but nothing else....No cars....No trucks....Nothing....Same with Italeri, these days....I used to get all manner of Italeri models from there.....

I just might....But if you're gonna order more than one, purchase them separately.....That way you'll get $15 off each model....

http://www.plastic-models.com has Prostars and Lonestars with free shipping.....AND after you apply this coupon code: O1A15, you'll get $15 off....(that works with anything over $50, btw).....Bringing the total to just $44.99...."Out the Door" so to speak.....Check 'em out.....Not sure how long that will last.....Bought mine, yesterday and it's being shipped as we speak....Hope to grab another one by the end of the week...... http://www2.gpmd.com/image/m/moes1301.jpg http://www2.gpmd.com/image/m/moes1300.jpg I wish they had some of those Meng F-350's.....But they DO have Pete 378 Longhaulers in stock for $64.99 with free shipping, too....With the coupon code it will be $49.99 "Out the Door"!!!! http://www2.gpmd.com/image/i/itas3857.jpg And Freightliner FLC's for $64.99 http://www2.gpmd.com/image/i/itas3859.jpg Those may be, like a 2 day deal, se get 'em FAST....

Just beautifully engineered, Man....This is awesome.....So much detail....Everything is just "Spot On".....Amazing how you get everything so straight and aligned....

That's right.....After I found the Tulle for the tarp, it was a quick 20 minutes to get it installed.....Only thing left to do is connect the lines to the trailer...... Just a recap of everything..... Restored Freightliner FLD with 2" stretch Scratchbuilt air deflector Stretched frame using 2 AMT Gravel Trailers Kitty litter for gravel New mud flaps and chains Tulle fabric on coat hanger for tarp A big shoutout goes to both Dave (Swampdog) and Dennis (Tesla) for their help on this project.....Couldn't have done it without you boys.....

Thanks, Man.....I used an old wire coat hanger I found.....Finally found another use for those things, other than getting into a car with.....

Got the tarp thingy worked out....Now I just need a tarp....I'm trying to find that Tulle stuff Dennis used for his.....I'll be PMing you, Man, by the way, to see where to find it.....

That's a pretty cool looking build....The gold painted chrome is what stands out the most....And the decals are wonderful.....That is very well done....Very well done.....Good job on this kit... I hope you continue to build big rigs.....I know I was hooked after my first "Italeri" kit...... Keep in mind, though....This Pete 359 is an entry level kit.....They are, for the most part, much more challenging......Don't want to scare you.....Just giving you a "heads up".... This is one of the better builds I've seen of this model, so you're on the right track.....

I posted this in the wrong section, somehow...Please move this to Under Glass, if you could ever so kindly....Thank you in advance.... Well, Boys.....I decided to call this one done for now.....Signature orange, of course.....I need some decals and lines for it....I'm thinking some Schneider International, but I've got a lot of projects I want to get to over the winter....I'm gonna come back to this one....BUT....I did decide on the trailer for this one, though.....It started as an AMT Fruehauf Van, but I lengthened it, and added some side skirts..... So without further ado.....Here we go.....

Nice save, Man....This would have been the end of it for me in the past, but I've developed a few ways to deal with these kind of mishaps, myself....Your solution was, shall I say, "Outstanding".....Great job.....

I Heard That !!! Makes just too much sense to me....

That is a beautiful rig, Man....What did you do with it???

Great work on this kit.....They DO look pretty good with a little work.....I have one in storage, myself.....Haven't gotten around to even opening the thing, yet.....Great weathering job....

Hey, thanks, Dave.....I really like your dumper, and you really influenced this build......Thanks, again, Buddy.....

OOOhhhh!!! That's what happened....Ok....Guess I'll have to repost a few more things, as well....Thanks for the info, Man....And the comment....Again...

The paint is still drying on this thing....I hope to get to the tarp thingy, today, and get some outside pics with a load of gravel.....

Not sure what happened to the thread I posted last night, but here goes it, again...... I needed a trailer for my rehashed FLD and I thought of Dave's (Swampdog)'s setup....I had wanted to do a dumper, anyway, since my X-girlfriend destroyed my other one.....So I went to work....I was able to salvage the dump body and the frame from that event, so naturally, I didn't want it to go to waste.....Combining the two was obvious.....Here's what I did over the weekend.....

This is a great model....Very nice work, Man.....An awesome piece of work if I ever saw one.....Beautiful.....

Looking really awesome, Man.....Everything looks great.....

Man, this is a good looking model, already......Those tanks look AWESOME.....Very nice work.....Flawless.....

Great job on the doors, Man....I might just have to borrow that idea....I just finished cutting a race trailer a little bit ago, and it's time to clean off the bench and get on it....
